1.Altmedicine.org does not show any sort of sponsorship for the information that they provide on their website.
In order for a medicinal website to be considered legit, it must have some form of sponsorship by a reputable medical organization. This particular website states that the information provided should not be taken as professional opinion, as well as not acted upon with the mindset that it is. Not everything on the website may be confirmed as genuine, but some of it most certainly can be. If the website were to get the confirmation of some of the methods from a reputable source, they could show that they are considered acceptable by medical professionals.
2.There are not many sources for each type of information available.
The website makes an effort to show that certain medical methods have been used for a long time, but shows no credible sources for the information provided. This is also true for the description of the methods themselves. If they were to provide reputable sources for the procedures, as well as their effects the information could be considered more reliable.
3.The suppliers of the information on the website do not show professional credentials.
The administration of the website state that they are not professionals, but if they are trying to pass information on as reliable they have to have professional opinions to back them up. If they were to have licensed medical professionals acknowledge the information as truth they would have a better chance of being considered credible.
4.The privacy policy and information about who runs the website is not made abundantly clear.
The purpose of having an “about us” tab to click is to allow the visitor to learn more about those running the site. This website has the tab, but does not have any information listed when clicked on. If people are trying to learn about alternative medical procedures, they want to know who they are getting the information from. This is not only true on a professional level, but those who are serving as the vessel as well.
